Mario Kart DS is a gamble unless its at peak hours, but Mario kart Wii nearly always has a couple hundred people online

This was actually a major gripe I had when playing Jersey Devil on my PS1, once I found out about emulators I created a custom controller config for it that made it much more playable though.

Metroid Prime Hunters and Moon are both great examples of what the DS is capable of, but they both struggle to be fun as videogames because of the stylish camera controls, what I mean by under-utilized is that a significant portion of the DS library Is 2d pixel art graphics, in games that would have benefited a lot from 3d, even within the same franchise. like super princess peach having essentially GBA graphics when New Super Mario Bros had fancy rendering and 3d assets for many aspects of the game.

you would assume it wouldn’t have taken the industry so long to learn from consoles like this, but they repeated it again with the ps3, and probably other consoles im not aware of.

As far as hardware gimmicks go, I agree that the WiiU’s gamepad could’ve done so much more, I can think of so many different unique ways a game could’ve made use of it, like having two different perspectives or mini games like in GTA Chinatown wars.

Minecraft really is a must-play for everyone, but only if you get the java edition. the bedrock edition is inferior and doesn’t have mods. get it on PC if you can

I’ve tried minecraft new 3ds edition, and it’s only playable if you turn up the emulated cpu clock speed on citra, the actual console isn’t powerful enough to run it playably.

Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii both have random matchmaking, but for Mario Kart DS the only reliable way to find a lobby is to ping the Mario Kart DS discord server, although at peak hours there may be between 3 and 7 people playing Mario Kart DS even without pinging the chat. I actually played a match yesterday like that.

yep, and it only takes about 15 minutes to mod one. all you do is follow a quick tutorial on the 3ds.hacks.guide site

At this rate Django Unchained might end up being more historically accurate than our official records…

Arson is prosecuted by the state unless it was carried out on federal property… They really don’t try to hide it anymore do they?

appreciate the message, but God can we please not share pizza cake comics on Lemmy, none of them were funny on Reddit and they’re not funny here.

the vision pro is the most laughable excuse for a product i’ve ever seen, over 3000 dollars for a VR headset that cant play games and cant connect to a PC is insane. its a glorified web browser that makes your face sweaty.
